In this episode: The challenges of letting go

Downsizing isn’t just about sorting through belongings—it’s about untangling the Emotions tied to a lifetime of memories. In this fun, light-hearted episode of What’s Next? Conversations with Boomers, Barb sits down with Richard Ferguson once again, founder of It’s Time to Downsize, to explore the practical and emotional challenges of letting go.

Why do we hold onto things we no longer need—and how do we finally release them? Richard shares his expert insights on navigating the sentimental weight of possessions, from Family heirlooms to forgotten keepsakes.
